An infamous local character was the notorious Skegness smuggler Thomas HEWSON. Hewson was a tailor by profession, but left his family in his native Anderby to take up the free-trade. Among other dark deeds, he was suspected of the murder of a young man of Sloothby: Hewson was known to have lured the lad away from his employer, and was caught with a watch belonging to the youth. However, the body was never found.

In the early 1900's, brick were made at Anderby. The Lincolnshire Film Archive features a one-minute black and white film of the process from 1934.

The parish had a Coast Gurad station at Anderby Creek on the North Sea.

The name Anderby is from the Old Scandinavian Ander+by, or "village of a man named Arnthorr". It appeared in the 12th century as Andreby.["A. D. Mills, A Dictionary of English Place-Names," Oxford University Press, 1991]
